A very special swirlin’ thanks to the hep cats who are Swirve. We dug the scene that amazin' mad man Chris Curiel on trumpet, Tamitha Curiel on vocals and Gerard Bendiks on skins created to keep us movin', groovin' all night long!
HUGE thanks to Absinthe Lounge owner Kevin Christensen for allowing us mad ones to go with our flow for OVER 5 years now. And a shout-out to the fine Lounge staffers for keeping the mad spirits fillin' and swillin' for us buzzed mad ones.
